Join the Ontario Weather Network

The Ontario Weather Network (COWN) is always looking
for new members to contribute their data to the network.
Our goal is to have the single most comprehensive view of weather conditions across Ontario.
If you are a personal weather station owner / operator,
please let us know and we will consider adding you to our network.
We are especially looking for stations in the more remote parts of our service area.

System requirements: Contributors must of course have a personal weather station and that station must be
connected to the Internet and continually updating to a website. At the current time,
we can pull data from users of Weather Display, WeatherLink, Cumulus and Virtual Weather Station.
